Qiao Ling couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then nodded and replied: "I've heard something, but Gu has something to do with sealing the door?" ”

"Haha, it matters."

Long Xiang pointed to the city wall next to him, and said with a smile: "This huge city, now it is strictly guarded, if I help it block the city gate, this city does not look like a trapped Gu vessel?" ”

"The brother-in-law's analogy is appropriate, but trapped in the dish are all poisonous insects, and surviving is for Gu Ye, but I don't understand. What is the relationship between Gu and Xu?"

Long Xiang often has whimsical ideas, and Qiao Ling is looking forward to how her brother-in-law answers.

Although he failed to inherit the legacy of Qiao Rui, he learned the new method of construction under Long Xiang.

With this technique alone, Ling Qiao Ling became famous in Huainan and had countless supporters, so he often admired Long Xiang.

Qiao Ling and Xu Chu are all people around them, and Long Xiang will not hide or deliberately pretend to be deep, so he will soon give an explanation.

"Xu Du is the capital of the country and the imperial court, and the population of the city is 200,000, and the daily consumption is a terrible number, if it is isolated from the outside world, how long do you guess they will not be chaotic? I can now seal the gate with rubble and concrete, so that I can save a lot of troops to besiege the city, so that I can free up my hands to deal with reinforcements. ”

"Wonderful."

Qiao Ling was so shocked that her mouth was O-shaped, and she couldn't help but slap her hands and admire: "Brother-in-law, you are only a few years older than me, how can you come up with such a clever plan?" I see that the city wall of Xudu is rammed, if the city gate is closed with rubble and concrete, I am afraid that if you want to come out, I would rather destroy the city wall, as long as you drag the outside reinforcements as much as possible, the soldiers and civilians in the city will inevitably be cut off and chaotic, isn't this the same as refining Gu? ”

"Breaking the cooking is only one aspect, Xu Du has never been an iron bucket inside, the family family that considers the interests of the family, the courtiers who bear the burden of humiliation in the Han family, the people and soldiers captured from Hebei, etc., not many people will stick to Cao Cao, and now Xiahou Dun, who holds the military power, is seriously injured, and it is estimated that the situation will soon get out of control, so you will watch carefully."

Luo Yicheng has been hiding in Xu Capital for all these years, and he has already figured out the power structure of Xu Du, so Long Xiang thought of a plan to close the door and raise Gu.

Once the closure of the door causes chaos, Long Xiang's goal has been achieved, paralyzing Cao Cao's central land, and there is no need to attack the city with real swords and guns.

Seeing Qiao Ling nodding thoughtfully, Long Xiang suddenly remembered something, so he reminded him closely: "Before the construction of the door closure the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for some prisoners of war to do chores today, and you have to quietly create an opportunity for them to sneak away and send us a letter." ”

"Brother-in-law's meaning. The younger brother understood. ”

After Qiao Ling realized it, he patted his chest as a reassurance, and he decided to let the 'messengers' look at the strength of the concrete first, and then send the letter to say that Xu Du was in danger.

Long Xiang patrolled the city and set a plan to seal the gate, and the battalions immediately moved according to the plan, 20,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four to guard the siege, and 10,000 craftsmen were released to collect stones.

When the defenders saw this Huainan army mobilization, they mistakenly thought that Long Xiang was preparing to attack the city, so they immediately reported the situation to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu heard the news and went upstairs to visit, but he didn't see any doorway, and said that he wanted to rely on only 20,000 soldiers to lay down Xu Du, who was heavily guarded, was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Could it be that Long Xiang deliberately did this, trying to lure me into dividing my troops to go out of the city to fight?

Again and again, two and no more, Xiahou will be reckless, and I will be in the plan?

Xun Yu immediately reiterated the military order and ordered the four guards to guard normally, and they were not allowed to leave the city no matter what.

After deploying the city defense, Xun Yu hurriedly went to Xiahou Mansion to visit.

Lang Zhong drew an arrow for Xiahoudun for treatment, and although his injuries had stabilized, he was completely blind and became truly blind.

Xia Houdun woke up and saw darkness in front of him, and then his emotional collapse tore his wounds several times, and his original friendly attitude towards others now became extremely irritable.

The exit is foul language, and even his own family can't stand it.

It's good that the blind can survive, not to mention dealing with Henan Yin's related government affairs, and continuing to hold military power for Cao Cao.

At the moment when Cao Cao reused the Hebei Shi clan and had a disagreement with the Henan Shi clan, Xiahou Dun's blindness was beneficial to the Henan Shi clan, and he could take advantage of the situation to grab power from his hands, especially the coveted military power.

It's a pity that outside the city of Long Xiang Chen Bing, Xun Yu also went to Xiahou Mansion to appease his old friends in order to take care of the overall situation and withstand insults.

Although Xiahoudun is blind, he is the patriarch of Xiahou after all, and he is Cao Cao's heavy arm, and he can deter the Cao family and Xiahou family when he is alive, so that he cannot make trouble at this time.

At dawn the next day, Xun Yu had just gotten up to wash, and the guards reported that Long Xiang was attacking the city.

Xun Yu was going to go to Xiahou Mansion again to convince him, but when he heard the military situation, he immediately moved the infantry battalion to gather generals, ready to dispatch at any time to deal with emergencies, but unfortunately he waited for more than half an hour and did not respond.

The scouts were sent to the four gates to inquire, and they learned that Long Xiang was covering with a shield array, and seemed to be preparing to attack from the city gate.

"Ridiculous, this is Long Xiang's plan, or want to lead me to battle, it seems that this thief has exhausted his donkey skills, and immediately ordered the four gates to continue to hold on, and report if there is a new situation."

"Yui."

Xun Yu's heavy mood was a little better, and he left the barracks and went to Xiahou Mansion to visit.

If Xiahou Dun continues to lose his temper, Xun Yu plans to retreat to the next best thing, and temporarily bring out his eldest son Xiahou Chong and second son Xiahou Nan to replace his father.

After two days of mania, Xiahoudun heard that Xun Yu's visit had been much more restrained, and he took the initiative to ask about the situation in the middle of the court and the city, and whether Longxiang outside the city would attack.

Xun Yu deployed himself one by one, Xiahoudun nodded with a solemn expression, and then said seriously: "I regret not listening to Guo Fengxiao's words, Long Xiangguo is a big trouble for the prime minister, although I can't see with my eyes, I can still do things for Meng De, Wen Ruo doesn't have to accompany him every day." ”

"Long Xiang's soldiers are few and far behind, they don't dare to really attack, and they are all luring the enemy back and forth, how can I send troops? When the prime minister's reinforcements return, they will be captured by us. ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Xun Yu was full of confidence, Xiahou couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and then gritted his teeth: "I just hate not to see this person, and then let Chong'er kill him!" ”

"Well, the prime minister will also be handed over to you for disposal."

"Long Xiang is extremely cunning, if Wen doesn't have to stay for a long time, you still have to go and be busy with war"

"It's okay, if there is a change outside the city, since someone comes to report, I will not change everything, and it is useless to let Long Xiang play tricks, I rarely talk to Yuan Rang like this on weekdays, and we just want to talk more at this time."

"It's fine."

Xun Yu sat on the edge of the couch and chatted with Xiahoudun about military and political affairs, and then talked about the past in Yanzhou, the embarrassing years when Lu Bu was secretly attacked.

Before he knew it, it was noon, the sunlight outside the window was shining in the courtyard, Xun Yu caught a glimpse of a figure, walking towards Xiahou Chong's bedroom, and turned his head to find that it was his eldest son Xiahou Chong.

Xiahou Chong first bowed to Xun Yu, and then reported to Xiahou Yu: "Father, just now came the news that Long Xiang's soldiers and horses began to retreat."

"So fast? No, maybe it's a trick from Long Xiang! ”

Xiahoudun stretched out his hand and grabbed Xun Yu's hand, and reminded him: "Wen Ruo must be careful"

"Yuan Rang, don't worry, Long Xiang's plan can't hide from me, if he doesn't retreat, he will wait to be captured."

Xun Yu pressed on the back of Xiahoudun's hand to comfort, and the ease in his words was like the warm sun in the court, which could bring a good mood to others.

Seeing this, Xiahou Chong gave his hand again and added in a low voice: "Father, Xun Lingjun, Long Xiang is indeed retreating, but he has left something outside the city gate."
